What a beautiful day, we're not scared. Oh sorry, I thought I was on a Bear Hunt for a moment. Still, it was a beautiful day and after breakfast and showers we all went into the garden. Huffle and I moved the sofa from the lounge into the Sun Room and of course we had to tidy, clean and clear it first. I got to sit in there with my coffee enjoying the morning sunshine and playing a game of Mancala with Small while Smallest played on his bike and swing and Huffle watched some football.
The boys played and carried wheelbarrows full of leaves to the bottom of the garden and Huffle and I cleared the leaves and filled the wheelbarrows. Oh boy it felt good to be out 'doing' in the garden. What a shame we couldn't stay out all day. Smallest had a party to go to and Huffle and Small had a shopping list to follow.
After a quick bite to eat, Smallest and I set out to Oshawa for his party. He didn't actually know the girl whose party it was but her Mum is one of my ExPatBrit friends, "Batch". We actually got the time wrong and ended up one hour early. We texted my friend and played on the park and then went in and helped blow up balloons, put fruit out and later give out pancakes. The theme of the party was Pyjamas, Pigs and Pancakes. Her parents were visiting from England and her Dad told the story of The Three Little Pigs with him dressed as the wolf and 'Batch' as the Mummy Pig. He did a good job and entertained the kids. Then they all sat down and had pancakes with maple syrup, lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips. We sang Happy Birthday to the birthday girl and then they played some games including Pass the Parcel which the kids had no idea how to play. It must be a very British game.
Plenty of sprinkles on the pancakes. Pink party.
The cake and Pass the Parcel.
We were all party'd out and came home after a piece of Three Pigs cake. Huffle and Small had done very well with their list but had worn themselves out walking from shop to shop in the Mall. They managed to pick up Smallest's birthday present from Grandma and Grandad (a swing ball), vegetable and salad seeds to sew, peat pots to sew into, sheep poo for the veg beds (the horse manure lady had ran out), compost, and a replacement internet box for our TV upstairs as it broke last night. Small had gone off biking with three of his friends from the Hamlet and then Huffle biked to pick him up when he got a phone call saying they had finished playing.
Smallest came away from the party with a gift bag with a soft toy frog which when his code was entered on the computer, became his adopted pet and and he played games and built a home and furnished it.
Huffle caught up with the golf today.
